You have three first nations on the river here. Miramichi would feel it if we all decided to take our resources to Moncton or to Eel River Bar or Dalhousie.
To be truthful, we understand how the smaller fishermen who are struggling to survive feel. We would think they would understand our situation better than most. Look at our poverty rates. Look at our unemployment. It's 21 years, but it was a really uneasy relationship at first. The few licences that we have are in Pointe-Sapin, which is an hour from here. It took a while, but the guys work together now.
Fishing in the winter lobster season in New Brunswick is not an easy life. The good thing about it is that it provides employment. We have six licences now. At least two or three first nations from Eel Ground are on every vessel, so that is important in providing some employment. If we can double or triple that, we're in an even better position.
